Steven Gerrard

[Lecter]

Some of the 50-50 tackles I saw our players pull out of was frankly embarrassing.

I dont think they had the desire to even go for them nevermind pull out

Absolutely criminal they were

As I said barring Sakho & Skrtel none of the others had even 10% of the attitude or desire required for that type of game

[The Birdman]

To be fair to him I would have been frustrated watching that ****e from the bench first half

For a game that was so hyped up we lacked passion, belief and tempo

I still dont believe United did a number on us, we did it to ourselves

People can make excuses / reasons behind it but if you dont put the effort in you dont get much out of it

I am a little exasperated by some of the reasons trotted out (and I am not pointing the finger at you on this). Some saying Sterling isnt suited to being out on the wing, well you are not going to be suited if you have the touch of a rocking horse and dont ****ing try. How many times did he try to go past Blind? I mean Blind is hardly an Olympic sprinter in fact I'd say I've seen some of them that do the Olympic Walking would give him a run for his money but Sterling completely bottled it and wouldnt try

Seriously I am more concerned with our application and attitude than the brilliant tactics United did or didnt employ

I think out of all the player I watched for us yesterday only Skrtel and Sakho did anywhere near enough, the rest were absolutely not up for it and that more than Gerrards misdemeanor is more inexcusable. You have to want it against any Premier League opposition nevermind Man United

I agree with you, I'm not interested in the excuses and reasons trotted out either which is why I'm not having people excusing Gerrard.

Every single system can be exploited, it's what you do when you have the ball to impose yourself on the other system that counts.
Utd were better than us overall, started better and their system came out on top.

I wonder if Rodgers comments about we didn't press high early enough was aimed at Sturridge, his goals per game record is amazing but he puts in the same if not less effort than Balotelli off the ball.

I hope Markovic is injured because if not leaving him out when we're struggling at RWB is baffling

United won, they wanted it more thats it imo

I dont think their system swung the deal

Games like that tactics more often than not mean **** all its about DESIRE

We had zero desire in and out of possession, they had more

Agreed. I would've started him. He was sat in the stand ffs.

100%

We had it for 38 seconds.

[Reece]

So do we know if he was injured or not (Markovic)?

We've looked best in that formation when either he or Ibe have played that RWB role. Sterling and Lallana just haven't looked as good there. Such a shame Ibe got injured.

Charlie Adam, Scott Dann, Ashley Williams, Stewart Downing and Jay Spearing added to the roster of stars at Steven Gerrard's 'All-Star' charity match.

[McDermotX]

Tears up ticket and demands money back from charity !!

[Daniel 7]

Can't WAIT to see them!

[Tee]

[Shaggy]
